TERK Signal Finder 4+

My brother bought his TERK Flat HDTV Antenna last night and we hooked it up. We got 18 Channels on the first try, only eight would come in, on our second attempt as instructed only 14 channels with only three coming in, then it was 11 channels and only four working ... This Sunday, he tried once more and still only 11 channels with only (3)channels working & the others were showing bad weak signals with pic showing in fragments... This is a bad set up for having to use the phone internet to get a signal setting for a TV Antenna ...

This app and the TERK amplified antenna I used it with took a few tries in different locations in my house to get all of the stations I wanted. It requires some patience but the result was worth it for me. The app pointed me to the stations accurately a turning the antenna mount 90 degrees and moving it in line of sight of a window, even ten feet away from another location, was key. Major networks are clear and in high definition without lag.

The app itself is self explanatory to use and doesn’t have bloat or ads.

Digital broadcast is good for local sports and news if you’re willing to take the time and understand the technology and it’s limitations. It’s not exactly line of sight but it’s finicky and the signal doesn’t pass through several layers of wooden exterior and interior walls which is kind of disappointing. If you don’t want to move the antenna sometimes to get different channels, or fool with the setup, you might get frustrated. I am happy not to be paying $70 a month for streaming package to watch local sports that I can get with an antenna that cost me $60 one time.

Thought I would try this as the RCA app crashes. What I didn’t know was this was the same app, just rebranded, and has the same issues. Have to wonder why the company leaves the app up when it doesn’t work.
